#4. Former WWE Superstar Tyker Reks

Tyler Reks left WWE back in 2012 and has since come out as a transwoman who is now known as Gabbi Tuft.

During her time in WWE, Tuft was another star who managed to cross John Cena when she famously used his finisher. This was something that Tuft was able to open up about as part of a Reddit Ask Me Anything Session.

"I used it at WWE Bragging Rights 2010 and John was literally across the ring from me when I hit Santino Marella with it and never said anything to me then."

Tuft went on to reveal that things got heated backstage.

[Cena said] 'What do you think you're doing? I thought I told you to get a new finisher.' I said, 'Yeah, I thought you were joking John. We hit it wrong last night. I'm really sorry.' ... I was humiliated, I was a full-grown man, why can't we talk about this like human beings? I went outside to cool down, and I was ready to quit, to walk out.

After the whole situation calmed down, she revealed that she went back into the arena to speak to the former WWE Champion and apologize, but this didn't go to plan either.

I came back in and John Cena was sitting there by the curtain and I figured that I'd cooled off and he'd cooled off so I'll try to apologize one more time. I said, 'John, I'm super sorry about this. I really thought it was just a miscommunication.' He looks over at me and says, 'What was there to be miscommunicated? I asked you to stop using that finisher, are you stupid?' He wouldn't even allow me to apologize. Finally I was just like, yeah, I'll find another finisher. He and I never really talked after that. That's the whole story of John Cena making me feel like a six year old boy."

Tuft and Cena didn't make up and the star instead went on to find a new finisher whilst working for WWE rather than cross paths with the former WWE Superstar once again.
